Just reading the christening story so just wondering - what was your worst txt moment?
I once sent a txt to my friend slagging her off. I was having a conversation with her and another girl and got confused (wine and txt do not mix people!) It was a brutal rundown of her personality. She has forgiven me (long story) and we have moved on after I apologised but it can still make me cringe. So are you in the mood to share??

This was years ago but I still feel very bad about it...

I was in sixth form and on a night out. During that night I bumped into a girl called Sam from my old school and a boy called Sam from my sixth form college, and had pleasant (drunken) chats with them both. The next morning I got a text from a number I didn't have that said 'Really nice to see you last night - and your hair looked great! X'. I assumed that this had to be a text from girl Sam, and saved it accordingly. A few weeks later (having forgotten that's where I even got the number from) I messaged 'girl Sam' suggesting we meet up... The messages went on for a while before he (because it was, obviously, in fact boy Sam) said something about college that made it obvious who it was. I then said I'd got the wrong person... I felt a bit bad at the time, but looking back and thinking of that poor teenage boy, who obviously thought we were going on a date, I feel awful... I also now wonder whether he thought it was a deliberate and cruel wind-up rather than a genuine mistake.
